Definitions

  • the present patent relates in a general sense to the lighting of complementary building elements, and in particular complementary elements constructed of ceramic material such as steps, skirting boards, handrails, cornices, endpieces and corners.
  • the present invention relates to a system for lighting the steps of stairways at night and during darkness situations in general.
  • lamps of low light intensity and low power consumption generally associated with automatic switching systems which trigger their operation in darkness situations.
  • the purpose of said lamps is to illuminate the step treads in order to highlight their presence for safety reasons.
  • the known art therefore presents considerable deficiencies, deriving from the need to fix a plurality of light sources to the wall at the side of the stairway, and the fact that each of said elements is independent of the others and requires separate maintenance.
  • Low intensity light sources of low power consumption consisting of a flexible sheath of a few millimetres in diameter, which are usually used to display corners and other projections in the dark, particularly on boats.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a simple and economical solution to the aforesaid problem, and is attained according to the invention by a lighting system having the characteristics defined in the claims.
  • the tread is generally covered with a slab terminating at the front with a profiled edge known as a tread nosing.
  • the tread nosing is formed in one piece with the covering.
  • said tread nosing comprises, in the front part projecting from the step riser, a lower seat with which a light source of the aforedescribed type is associated.
  • Said seat is preferable a lower slot of dovetail shape such as to present a cross-section which tapers towards the open side of the slot.
  • said light source is simply inserted into said slot and retained therein by the tapered walls of the slot, without the need for other retention means.
  • Said light source can be connected to the elements of the adjacent steps.
  • the dovetail shape, or downwardly open tapered cross-section, of the slot enables the light beam to be directed to concentrate it on the tread of the underlying steps.
  • Said figures show a stairway 1 the steps of which comprise the tread 11 and riser 12 and are faced with a first series of tiles 2 covering the tread, the tread nosing 3 protecting the front edge of the step, and a second, series of tiles 4 covering the riser.
  • the first series of tiles 2 can be replaced by a single slab 5 which in this case will comprise both the riser covering and the tread nosing 51.
  • the tread nosing 3, 51 comprises a dovetail cross-sectioned slot 6 positioned adjacent to its front projecting edge, preferably in a flat part of the tread nosing surface and perpendicular to the plane of the tread 11.
  • the slot is preferably of full length, i.e. it opens freely at the two opposing ends of the tread nosing.
  • the slot 6 is arranged to receive a light source 7 in the form of wire or tape terminating with two terminals 71, 72 for connecting it to the electricity mains.
  • the light sources 7 are connected in parallel, with the two terminals 71 and 72 connected at one end to the two mains conductors and connected at the opposite end together.
  • the elements 7 are connected in series, with the terminals 71 and 72 connected to the corresponding terminals of the adjacent elements 7. Only the terminals of one of the end elements are connected to the mains.
  • Figure 3 shows the light beam, which strikes the step below that to which the invention is applied.
